4/1 Show Recap

Who will win PoV? Will it be used to save either James or Joshuah from eviction? Let's find out!

James thinks that he will be nominated every week that he doesn't win HoH. Joshuah knows that James is the target this week. Natalie's sole mission this week is to get James evicted. James has started to fall apart emotionally since Chelsia's eviction. Sheila told James that she knows that he will win PoV this week. After giving James a pep talk, she then gave Joshuah a similar one. Unfortunately for her, James heard her talking to Joshuah. Sheila claimed that she didn't care, and the whole house thinks that James is the biggest threat in the house, which is why everyone wants him out. After calmly telling Sheila how he felt, James proceeded to really go off on Sheila, saying just about every explicative in the book. (Watch the video I posted earlier in the week for the uncensored version.)

James complained to Natalie and Ryan about Sheila. Adam then had to "say his peace" with James, saying that Sheila was right by saying that everyone wanted James out of the house. It sucks that he is in that position, but it's the truth. James seemed to calm down after that. Joshuah has no idea who the real Sheila is since she tells everyone in the house a different story. James is still shocked at how much everyone hates him after he has opened up and confided with them. He cried for the first time while being in the house.

James knows that he has to win PoV this week. Natalie doesn't care who plays for PoV this week since everyone is against James. (This starts to remind me of a certain other James who everyone was against, say, three seasons ago?) Everyone was selected to play for PoV except Adam, who hosted the competition. For the competition, HG had to guess how many of a certain item was in a container. The items came from previous seasons of BB. After each HG guessed, they had to decide whether to "stay" or "fold." If you stayed and guessed the closest, you earned a point. If you stayed and didn't guess the closest, you were eliminated. If you folded, you couldn't earn a point but you would stay in the competition. The first HG to receive three points would win the competition! Natalie earned the first point, and Joshuah and Sharon were eliminated in the process. Ryan earned the second point, eliminating Natalie. Sheila earned the third point since James and Ryan both folded. James earned the fourth point since Ryan and Sheila folded. James earned another point by Ryan and Sheila folding. James earned the final point, eliminating Ryan. With three points, James has won the PoV!

James did a victory dance after winning the PoV. Joshuah cried since he knows that he will be evicted this week. Sharon hated seeing Joshuah cry because when he is hurting, she is hurting as well. Natalie told Sharon that she has to nominate her because she can't nominate anyone from her side. Sharon then got upset since she realized that her and Joshuah would be separated after this week. Sheila then started crying and promised Joshuah to take care of Sharon. Joshuah then realized that Sharon doesn't have to stay in the game. Natalie told Joshuah that if he can get two votes to stay, she will break the tie to have Sharon evicted. Ryan told Joshuah that he would vote for him to stay. James said the same thing. Joshuah then made a one-week deal with Natalie and Ryan to take Sheila out next week. Joshuah even offered them two weeks of safety. During all this, Sheila told Sharon that she needs to be strong for Joshuah since he wants her to succeed in the game.

James wants to say some "lasting words" to the house going into next week. Natalie hates how James keeps winning the PoV when she wants him to be evicted. James went on for a while about how if you lose competitions, you will be evicted. He pepped Sheila up by telling her to push herself in the game just like she told him to do so. James did save himself with the PoV, and Natalie nominated Sharon in order to keep her alliance in tact. James wanted his PoV speech to be both confrontational and inspirational. Sheila was shocked that James directed his speech toward her after all the awful things he has told her. Sharon will fight in Joshuah's honor after he is evicted. Joshuah will do anything to stay, including evicting Sharon.

Every season of Big Brother everyone always says "this is the worst season ever, all the houseguests are so boring and lame." My response is that these people are simply comparing the whole of previous seasons with the current partial season and that it always starts out that you don't really care who wins and who loses until you begin to identify with some while loathing others. I really think this season is different, IT IS ACTUALLY BORING!

Yeah, I agree. Natalie is kind of like a mild Jen/Amber. People really hated those two while with Natalie they either like her a little or are slightly annoyed with her. James and Chelsia are the Dick and Danielle of last season. They are the most contraversial and people either love them or hate them, but they are not nearly as extreme or as polarizing in the house. I would compare this season to seasons prior to BB8 but I cant remember them.

The producers definitely need to stir things up and start influencing the houseguests in the DR. This season the alliances are way too out in the open. There needs to be more game play and fluid alliances as is played out on Survivor.

I thought last night's show was the best because at least you saw a little action.Wouldn't it be a kick in the head if Joshuah's plan backfires and he gets the boot?? Sure hope so.And for what it's worth, since everyone was rooting for DIck last season, who was the worst yet, I am pulling for James.

I am still for James. It is hard to see him break down for being on the block because someone HAS to be on the block and it is funny to me when they get sooo mad about it. He has done it to many people and wasn't feeling bad for them. I think it must be such an emotional coaster that you are just so overwhelmed! Go James!
